[@reen3095]

when you plant this from seed, does the seed need to be cold stratified?

[@Alisorganics]

They do germinate much easier if they have been stratified. Although, in a pinch I've sowed the seed before being chilled and they did come up. They germination rate was lower and slower.

[@Alisorganics]

The one here is hypericum perforatum.

[@GlacialRidgeHomestead]
